Back-to-back wins give NU another perfect home record By Sam McKewon Senior editor Another season, another perfect record at the NU Coliseum for the Nebraska volleyball team. The Comhuskers closed out their regular-season home sched ule with three-game sweeps over both Baylor and No. 23 Texas Tech this season. NU now has won 59 straight matches at the Coliseum and 61 of its last 62 home matches overall. The Huskers swept the Bears on Friday night 15-8,15-7,15-1 for their second three-game sweep of BU this season. a_:_* j__ ~ -- rvgauioi uiv ivvu i\aiuvid, a Nebraska 15 15 15 crowd of 4,291 watched NU Texas Tech 10 5 8 w“15_1q 15_8in.9i minutes. Sophomore outside hitter Nancy Meendering led NU with 16 and 14 digs, while middle blocker ToniaTauke added seven blocks and 13 kills, one off her career high. Senior Megan Korver, playing in her last regular-season home match of her career, added nine kills and seven blocks of her own. “I was glad to see Megan get untracked tonight,” NU Coach Terry Pettit said of the middle blocker, who had been battling ankle injuries. Nebraska didn’t trail in the first game against Tech and only briefly trailed in the second. NU erased a 5-4 deficit with 11 straight points. “Tech played well in spurts,” Pettit said. “They got our atten tion, and I thought we started serving a little bit better.” The Huskers started driving the ball on serves and bringing Texas Tech setter Lisa Hilgers away from the net, taking away some of the Red Raiders’ attack opportunities. NU turned a 5-5 tie third game into 12-6 en route to winning the game 15-8.

Texas Tech was led by Kristen Holmes and Lori Garber, who -each had 10 kills.Together, they also combined for 15 errors. The weekend at home served as a primer for the last two weeks of the season, in which NU will play the four other best teams in the conference on the road. NU travels to Texas A&M and Texas Friday and Saturday, and to Colorado and Kansas State the week after. “I think we’re ready,” Korver said. “We’ll rest tomorrow, but we’ll have a hard week of practice.” _ Saturday marked the last official game for seniors Korver, I»iineJ^f^.dak;ami Fiona Nepo and junior Denise Koziol. tHoweypr* ^tiis likely that -NU wilt play host to one section of die first and second rounds of NCAA Tournament and possibly a regional final. HUSKERS from page 8 for the first time this season. Nebraska forced a season-high five KSU turnovers, converted three for scores and still lost. Bishop fumbled four times but led KSU with 140 yards rushing But the biggest surprise may have been Crouch, a redshirt freshman starting the fourth game of his career because of an injury to former No. 1 quarterback Bobby Newcombe. Crouch rushed for 108 yards and threw for 139 yards and three scores. He led the Huskers to a 30-27 lead when he hit Sheldon Jackson for a 9-yard touchdown pass with 8:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. Kansas State answered, with Bishop capping a 10-play, 80-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Darnell McDonald that gave KSU a 34-30 lead. NU rush end Chad Kelsay praised Bishop, who passed for 54 yards on the drive and accounted for 81 percent of the Wildcats total offense. Bishop racked up 446 yards on the day. “Hats off to him,” Kelsay said. “When our offense puts up that many points, we as the defense should be about to win the game. We should have won the game. But they made some big plays that hurt us. Bishop was frustrated in die first half, but he bounced back, and so did they, and that’s die sign of a good team.” Nebraska struck early, a rare occur rence for the injury-plagued offense this season. Crouch threw for each of Nebraska’s first-half scores, hitting Jackson with an 8 yard pass in the to cap an 80-yard opening drive that took only 3:31 and gave NU a 7 0 lead. Bishop tied the game with a 2-yard touchdown run, but the Huskers regained the lead when Kenny Cheatham snagged a 45-yard strike with one hand. “It had been awhile since we came out and scored that way,” Crouch said. “It def initely helped our confidence.” Kelsay knocked the ball from Bishop— his second fumble of the game - and Clint Finley recovered. “He was carrying the ball out there like a loaf of bread,” Kelsay said. Nebraska drove 62 yards to the 1-yard line, but settled for a Kris Brown field goal. Bishop answered, guiding the Wildcats 76 yards in 57 seconds. The Heisman candidate ran the ball in from the 1-yard line, decreasing NU’s lead to 17-14 at the end of die second half. The momentum had shifted. The Husker offense stalled in die third quarter. NU rushed nine times for 15 yards. KSU took a 21-17 lead when Bishop hit McDonald, who totaled 183 yards receiving, for a touchdown with 8:20 left in the third quarter. The Wildcats scored again on a 25-yard field goal by Martin Gramatica. ' But Ralph Biown tied die score at 24 when he picked up a Bishop fumble and returned it 74 yards for a score. “That got us back in the game,” NU offensive tackle Adam Julch said. “At the time, our confidence might have been slip ping a bit But Ralph’s return was big.” Gramatica broke the tie with his sec ond field goal of the game three minutes later, capping a 13-play, 63-yard drive and giving the Wildcats a 27-24 lead. “If you would have told me before the game hat we would have five turnovers, I would have been 100 percent sure that we would have won,” Brown said. “But we couldn’t stop Bishop. The defense lost this game.” Brown added that the Huskers will move on and said Nebraska must now focus on its Nov. 27 date with Colorado in Lincoln and earning a bowl bid. But thoughts of next year’s game with KSU in Lincoln have already entered some of the Huskers’ heads. “The last time we lost to these guys, none of us was even bom,” Jackson said. “This is just one year. We have a lot of new guys who haven’t learned how to win yet The torch being passed? I don’t buy hat “I take nothing from heir win. They’re a good team. But I believe the best team in he country has three losses this season, and it wears ‘N’ on its helmets.” Wildcats earn respect m win over Huskers KSU from page 9 drop,” McDonald said. “I saw the ball come in slow motion. “(Bishop) told me, ‘I was praying you weren’t going to drop it.’ I was praying too.” In the first half, McDonald told Snyder, “You can count on me.” “I felt I was in the zone, like in the Fiesta Bowl,” McDonald said. “I felt very confident coming in. When (Erwin) Swiney went out, my confidence shot through the roof. It meant I had a freshman (Keyou Craver) on me.” As the game wound down, McDonald said he was making sure the Wildcats did n’t fumble the ball or make another stupid mistake to let them lose the game. Snyder pointed to several key plays as momentum swings in toe Wildcats’ favor., including toe touchdown right before toe half - which brought KSU within a field goal - toe numerous stops by toe Wildcat defense on third down in the second half and the missed extra point by Kris Brown, to leave the game 33-30 in the fourth quarter. “They were emotional momentum swings,” Snyder said. “You saw an emo tional rise (on the Brown miss). You realize you can stay in toe game with a field goal. That gave us a lift.” Snyder said he couldn’t have predicted the way Saturday’s game with No. 11 Nebraska went. “I would never have guessed 40-30,” Snyder said. But he will take the outcome. “I’m happy,” Snyder said. “I can assure you of that I’m humbled by it in all hon esty because ofhow long it took. I’m proud of the youngsters who laid the foundation for the program. It means so much to the guys who have stuck through it through thick and thin.” One of those guys was Clements, a 6 foot-3 250-pound senior from Emporia, Kan. He said the last few ticks on the clock took forever. “By the time it said zero, I was settled down,” Clements said. “I’m so proud of Hj myself andthisteam.lt’since toTihally beat these guys. I’m glad I could go out and beat Nebraska in my senior year” 402-472-2588 yg 402-472-1761 (FAX) f k . $50°/15 words dn@unl edu I 1 $3.50/15 words (students) f), I $0.15 each additional word 34 Nebraska Union Igl $0.75 billing charge „ P.O.
